Dang, I just signed up for Austin 70.3.  Not sure I can justify (both cost and physically) another HIM 12 days later.

Yeah, I found out about it a week after registering for Austin also.  Maybe 2013 will be better for me.  I'm pumped there's a local race tho, NO is fun, but the ridding in St. Franny/New Roads is a lot better than the NO70.3 route.

Good to see there's another local doing Austin.  Right now there's a group of 4 of us from BR signed up, 2 of which are going for their first HIM.  We'll keep in touch and maybe hook up for some training.

Very cool, keep me in the loop.  Another BTer will be there (he is in my mentor group).  I live in the Bayou Paul area so you are out their riding keep an eye out for a white on black Seduza as I mainly ride there (although for Austin I am going to have to hit St. Franny a couple of times as that course is not exactly flat).

I saw this race and I am excited to hear about it, unfortunately it is a week after IMFL so it will have to wait for next year. Gary, I think I have seen you on river road, I usually ride out there on Tuesdays and saturday mornings. If you ever want to ride, let me know. Always good to meet up with another BT'r.

Cajn - very cool, most Saturday's I am on the road by about 7am.  Today I am running the lakes and will ride either later today or tomorrw.  After New Roads I am back to a HIM program for Austin.

Is there anything more on this other than the facebook page?  I contacted the administrator at lafayettefitness.org and he didn't know anything about it.

Received an email on it today and found out the sponsors are Rocketkidz foundation.  According to email, registration opens June 18th.  They do have a relay option so I may look for a relay team to join.  With Austin on Oct 28th and big cajun the week before I probably won't be ready to do a complete HIM.  Anyone want to do the run portion?  May also just decide to volunteer.

This is a pretty quiet thread.  Following this thread and the FB site and very little activity.  Haven't heard anything from the race organizers since the announcement of the run course.  Anyone else a bit worried that this race is not filling up enough?

I think it's still early.  I've heard quite a bit of interest around town from local triathletes.  I don't see this race filling up, so I imagine there will be a lot of last minute registrants.

Too bad about Austin, that's life though.  I'd love to do River Roux relay, but it's my daughter's 1st birthday, don't think I can get out of that one, haha, again, that's life.  Heading up to Shreveport this weekend for River Cities, looking forward to a fun weekend!

Thanks, didn't think it would fill but just worried it wouldn't get enough.   Don't blame you on missing it!  Hope River Cities went well for you.  I just got back from vacation in Hilton head, no training but lots of fun!

Am i reading the schedule correctly that packet pick-up, check in and bike set up are all on race morning with an estimated start time of 7? That seems less than optimal, especially for a 70.3Chris

I'm not discounting that you received that email but I don't recall receiving it and the website still states, packet pickup on raceday morning. Could you post the email for us? It's not out of the relm that it was sent and I deleted or it went to my spam. Thanks
